Dona Brandle-Boylan has been named a K麻豆原创C outstanding volunteer. Brandle-Boylan received the 2018 Spirit of K麻豆原创C Award in April as part of  National Volunteer Month.

鈥淚鈥檓 humbled and slightly embarrassed by the recognition, but at the same time appreciate that the time and money I donate to K麻豆原创C result in endless rewards at my end in a wide variety of quality, well-rounded and thorough programing on TV and radio,鈥 Brandle-Boylan said.

鈥淜麻豆原创C is my window to the world, and it鈥檚 the finest public station I鈥檝e experienced.鈥

Brandle-Boylan is currently the chair of K麻豆原创C鈥檚 Community Advisory Council, and performs as the Kids Club mascot, Kitt, at children's events.

"She has taken Kitt to the next level by giving him a backstory, introducing him to kids of all ages through his storybook adventures that are now being developed into a coloring book to be distributed at schools during story times,鈥 said Gretchen Gordon, K麻豆原创C assistant general manager.

Brandle-Boylan has volunteered with K麻豆原创C for 15 years, including at events such as the Red Green Regatta, the fall and spring fundraisers, and Golden Days.
